I just received a lot of tools and tow strap and plan on getting some other additional equipment and I really want a toolbox been planning on it for awhile but now I really have the need for one and curios to what brand is the best out there I don't want a toolbox that will sag in the middle and looking at a steel diamond plate as well. I would also for it to be lockable as well so if you guys could point me in the right direction it would be sweet.
Thanks

 

As far as i am aware they are all good just look at the construction and make sure its sturdy, getting one my self next paycheck. im going down to the local Tractor supply co. and picking one up for around 200 after mil. discount. its lockable with gas shocks.

Edit. its a diamond plate. not one of the plastic ones, i also hate the sagging look of the plastic ones.

 

I have had "better built" on my last two trucks and couldn't be happier. It is really deep, has a small removable tray, and is packed to the rim and still shuts and locks just fine. I have a couple co-workers who have other brands, One a Husky and they have both had problems with them shutting properly, locking and unlocking with tools in the way and with snow getting in while driving.

 

nitto how much did it run you and does anyone know about DeeZee's boxes as it has the gas shocks sealed up removable tray and it looks pretty deep but dont know how it stands up and i will look at those better built

 

It cost me $299 plus 20-30 in grip rights so I didn't have to drill my bed. I have used it in 100 degree weather and -32 degree weather and the shocks still held up the lid. When it was -32 I had to manually lift the lid, but it still held it open.


If I was going to do it all over again I would have got a black one, but I am just going to spray this one with a bed liner.

 

What kind of box do you want? Do you want over the rails or not? I have a different and unique setup, but it works really nice. Slim and low profile, but I still have my rails, and room under the box.

 

is that box 20's deep like there web site and i like that picture is that the crown series as well because if so 299 is a lot better than the 350's- 450's ive been finding

 

better built is good, dee zee is good, tractor supply good, if it's diamond plate, I've never really heard anybody complain about there's, no matter what brand...

 

Do you want steel or aluminum? Do you want smooth or diamond plate? Do you want a color to it? Check craigslist.org and then select your state and city that is closest to you. I was able to pick up a diamond plate steel box from Ranch Hand that just needed re-finished for $125.00 my local ranch hand will send it off and have it sand plasted and resurfaced for $70. Lots of good deals out there if you look for them.

 

Yes, don't know and yes $299 is a great price.
